Cantharidin treatment for common warts
Part of Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a medicated liquid called cantharidin for treating common warts on the body (not on the face, soles, or private areas). The liquid is painted on by a doctor and later removed, and the goal is to see if it clears warts safely.
